Sunday 24 September

Rest day, needed.  Laundry, Cathedral, wandering.

Breakfast was a different type of buffet:served one.  Different and with smoked salmon.  I got QB’s portion.

Individual olive oil in capillary ambules

Yesterday we mentioned a festival. Elizabeth asked if there were giant heads. I erroneously said no.  Well, it was the festival of San Fermín, well described online. Had the official one in July and it was so successful that they scheduled another for now. Yes, giants.

Laundry and cathedral were mentioned in the preamble.  Laundry done.  Cathedral and wantdering not so much.

Went over to visit the cathedral, no wandering due to enormous city crowds too thick to push through. As to the cathedral…it was closed.  Yes, closed.  First time the we have seen one closed.  Others were there to worship but they were SOL.
